Anyone elses feeder look like this?

Acorns are definitely dropping....

My neighbor buddy's feeder on his lease about 10miles from the house. I heard the same from a buddy of mine in Waller as well... about 180 miles away.

Things have definitely slowed down here too as far as the feeders go.

They’re still emptying one I have set up, the other not so much.

Deer come up to the house and eat the acorns in the yard.

You guys realize the damage your pics do to the acreage challenged? Those who have no acres to put feeders on? How about a trigger warning to avoid your micro agressions.

The deer are all in my front and back yard...............

10 pointers chasing does all over the neighborhood.............

Well now y'all can stop bitching about the price of corn. Them acorn diets make for some funky flavor in the fat on those deer y'all kill.

Pretty close but a little taller.

When there's acorns, the corn can pound sand as far as the deer are concerned. We need a good soaking rain to sour the acorns, THEN them deer will love us again....

I'm going to have an inch or two of acorns under my oaks again this year.

Feed those deer something other than corn and they'll stick around.

I feed all year round with corn & protein.
They've had a steady diet of 20 percent protein as well as corn. They still aren't hitting the protein too much. They usually eat me out the house on the protein since it's a gravity feeder.

In the 3 seasons I've had my place, I never noticed a difference with the feeders being busy with having acorns on the ground. The deer were always plentiful.... this year seems to be different.

I was referring to all the corn on the ground.

No oaks on my place.
I use corn and wild bird feed mixed.
Most days not a kernel to be found.

Hogs are a problem though.

Eating less corn at my place, but eating the protein, and leaving the corn.

Yup, same here. They have been rutting for about two weeks here.

I feed all year, this is the first time they’ve slowed down. I use a 20%protein & corn mix.

When I get back from Fredericksburg next week I may dump a sack of the 30.06 cherry blend in it. Last time I did that I saw deer on my place i hadn’t seen before & they emptied the feeder in one day.

I haven’t seen any hogs around here for about 3 weeks now.

Hogs, deer, coons, squirrels, ducks, and crows all disappeared here east of Austin. Piles of corn under all feeders. It started to germinate after the rains.

Haha nope, hogs tend to keep the plate clean.

I had a feeder pin up to keep the hogs out up until about a month ago. I've been fortunate, I've never really had to much of a problem with them. I get a couple passing through every now & again.

We have 57 large trees, some 80+% Oaks, on 3ac. Lately, the ground crunches when I walk outside.
